Starting the "suited connectors suck" campaign........

[DanTheCardMan]

I couldn't disagree more. 97s is one of my favorite hands. I've also found that varying your play by raising preflop with no-gap suited connectors from MP or even 1-2 gappers like T7s on the button helps take down a lot of pots when the table is moderate to tight. Limp expecting to call a raise at a loose-aggressive table. Muck them only if there's 2 raises in front of you, and even then not necessarily, especially if you have several callers.

In fact just the other night I preflop raised from MP with 65s, nobody called by the SB..flop came AKK, checked to me, I bet, he folded. Not a big pot but it worked out.
